X-mas armed robbery at Break Time

Moberly police say that they are on the lookout for a man in connection with an armed robbery at the South Morley Break Time Convenience Store on Christmas night (Wednesday, Dec. 25).

The call came through to police at approximately 9 p.m., Wednesday.

"Two employees reported a white male entered the business with a handgun and stole an undisclosed amount of cash and left on foot," said MPD Sgt. Mark Arnsperger, on Thursday morning.

There were no reported injuries associated with the robbery.

Employees relayed to the MPD that the man in question stands approximately six feet tall, with a medium build. He was wearing a dark-colored hoodie, dark-colored pants, and a mask at the time of the occurrence.

As of deadline Thursday morning, said suspect had not been captured. Arnsperger said the department is "continuing the investigation."

MPD Chief Russ Tarr told the MMI Thursday that his department cannot yet rule out the possibility that Wednesday's crime was somehow connected to the armed robbery at the Moberly Dominos last Thursday (Dec. 19).

Anyone with information is asked to call the Moberly Police Department, at 660-263-0346, or the Randolph County TIPS hotline, at 660-269-8477.
